Summation of rational series twisted by strongly \(B\)-multiplicative coefficients (Q2260634)

Summary: We evaluate in closed form series of the type \(\sum u(n) R(n)\), with \((u(n))_n\) a strongly \(B\)-multiplicative sequence and \(R(n)\) a (well-chosen) rational~function. A typical example is: \[ \sum_{n \geq 1} (-1)^{s_2(n)} \frac{4n+1}{2n(2n+1)(2n+2)} = -\frac{1}{4} \] where \(s_2(n)\) is the sum of the binary digits of the integer \(n\).~Furthermore closed formulas for series involving automatic sequences that are not strongly~\(B\)-multiplicative, such as the regular paperfolding and Golay-Shapiro-Rudin sequences, are obtained;~for example, for integer \(d \geq 0\): \[ \sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{v(n)}{(n+1)^{2d+1}} = \frac{\pi^{2d+1} |E_{2d}|}{(2^{2d+2}-2)(2d)!} \] where \((v(n))_n\) is the \(\pm 1\) regular paperfolding sequence and \(E_{2d}\) is an Euler~number.
